My dogs died this past winter and I'm still not over it. I posted something on here about it, and a statement from another Redditor stuck with me. He said to be happy that your dog passed before you did, and not the other way around. At first I thought it was a little insensitive, but then it made me feel better because as a human, I can learn to cope with this, but animals, especially dogs, will continue to mourn (see: Jurassic Bark).

Anyway, sorry for rambling. I hope you can find a way to accept the circle or life. Losing a best friend is hard, and I'm here if you ever need to talk.

I'm really sorry for your loss, brother. It's horrible to watch your beloved furry friend decline and pass on to the next world. I've lost one of my baby boys in September, and the other one is fading quickly. I really do feel your pain. All you can do is remember him and the great times you've had, and know that you gave him a good home and that he had a great life and felt loved until his last day. When you feel up to it, adopt a new friend and give him the same great home. That's all we can do for these little guys. They go too quickly :(

when will people fucking learn that this isn't about imaginary karma and that its just a cathartic way for people to grieve and move on. Jesus. We all grieve in different ways, just respect it and move on.

To be honest I wasn't in it for karma, I never have been. Buddy died of cancer, he has been my mate for 14 years always here when I get home, and now I have to sleep alone, I'm sorry if you think this is for karma, I just wanted the world to know I lost my best friend today because no one I know seems to care

Excuse me but in the real world my name is Shane and his name isn't dobby it's buddy, the picture I used was from a year and a half ago before he started looking old, that's the best photo I have of him, some people are real cunts :(

Really, because STOP_BEING_RETARDED seems to think that you ripped this picture from the web and ARE using it to garner fake Karma. But, assuming, for the sake of argument, that you weren't just a Karma whore, assume that you actually had lost a loved one, why would you "want the world to know?" I can't imagine ever wanting to whore out such a personal experience.

I didn't care about the karma when I posted my pics of my pooch. I just wanted to share. It helps to talk about it, and I felt safer telling those that don't know me then those that do. I would rather much just get a sympathetic, "ah man, that sucks." from someone I don't know to someone going, "Awwwwww! I'm so sorry! Is there anything I can do?" from someone I know.

i'm in the same boat, my pup has cancer, two massive inoperable tumours on his otherwise handsome self, i'm just waiting for the day he's in pain then im making the move. as it is he's putting on a brave face so on we go

I'm sorry, but don't whore your dead pets out for karma. If you're really looking for sympathy from people who genuinely care try Facebook, or your family. If you absolutely need to post on Reddit try /r/sad

Isn't the whole idea of posting content on this website to gain the largest audience and give your post the most exposure...
why does everyone care so much? You should direct your anger to the people who are giving him karma

Do you remember every single sub you see posted on reddit? Micromanaging posts is even worse than karma whoring in my opinion. Sure some people may lose out on points to someone with a catchier title or better timing, but that's just life isn't it. Just because there is a sub that caters more to the picture/reason you are posting does not mean it HAS to be posted there. r/petloss isn't even just for pictures of your deceased animal. It's so people can connect with others who have been through the same thing. This guy was feeling down and just wanted the world to see, that's all. But no, we have to give him a hard time because he's stealing all our karma! oh wait, I forgot, it wasn't ours to begin with and there will always be enough karma for everyone

I didn't know there was a petloss or sad subreddit, I'm new to reddit and I'm still exploring I'm sorry if I have inconvenienced you in any way, I wasn't going to post it in aww because it didn't seem that way in my mind

I guess I don't do this reddit thing right. My dads dog and family pet Pekingese died Monday. I posted a pic asking for help in my area to try and find another for him and all I got were down votes :/. Sorry for your loss man. It hurt me more than I thought it would when little Mitzy died.

I'm so sorry for your loss, my black lab had bone cancer in his shoulder which almost ate completely through his bone before we had him put down about 3 years ago, and my other dog just died in my arms on monday due to heart problems, both dogs that i grew up with since i was little, i know how you feel and I'm really sorry.

So sorry you lost your friend. They truly become like family and no other pet will be the same. I've lost 3 family pets in the last 4 years. Off to go hug my pet now. Thanks for reminding me to be thankful for every minute with them :)

Sorry man. My dog Link is currently battling a mystery illness (either epilepsy, meningitis or a type of brain tumor, they don't know) and its awful. At least you know his illness isn't hurting him anymore.

My yellow lab, Tansy, has cancer too, so you have my deepest condolences. I can't imagine living without her, but I know that when her time comes, it comes, and there's nothing I can do about it. She's had a long life. She's been loved and cared for and pampered and spoiled. And whether it's from cancer or not, one day her life must end. We can only take awful, horrible situations like these and make the best out of them.

I have to to say it...I thought this was a community. Even if people do fake them, why would we risk turning our back on someone who is looking for support and a kind word. Who's worse? The person who fakes it? Or the person who's jealous of the karma?

"this movie really came out with a bang" not even a good one, but later after all the 'fuck you asshole' comments "this comment is going to be the 'bane' of my existence" which i think slightly redeemed the first. Its funny how this happens all over the world every day and puns are made and laughed at but all of a sudden it happens in america and we can't joke about it.
